Aerodynamics Conference 2026: shaping the future of flight.

The RAeS Aerodynamics Conference 2026, titled 'The Shape of Things to Come: The Future of Aerodynamics?', is a two-day conference on how aircraft interact with the air around them. It is organised by the Royal Aeronautical Society and brings together perspectives from academia and industry. The programme covers the measurement and modelling of complex flows, certification by analysis, the use of artificial intelligence in aerodynamics, the skills employers seek in aerodynamicists, and the design implications of alternative powertrains. It explores how innovation, sustainability, regulation and education are shaping the future of flight, and it is a hybrid event that can be attended in person or online.
